Darth Sheldor Posted January 16, 2019 Posted January 16, 2019 Hi everyone. I’m looking for a pedal that would cost no more than £50 to simulate an amp because at church I’ve got to play with my bass plugged straight into a PA and not using a bass amplifier. I’m not sure what I should be looking for, searching for “bass amp simulator pedal” wasn’t helpful. Should I be looking for a compressor, or an overdrive? Played for 30 years straight into an amp and never bought a bass pedal, so a novice in that respect! Quote
dannybuoy Posted January 16, 2019 Posted January 16, 2019 Behringer BDI21 is a good place to start! Quote

ribbetingfrog Posted January 16, 2019 Posted January 16, 2019 Bass preamp pedal or bass Di pedal is what you want to search for. Tbh though, the Behringer is as good as anything else under £150 out there. does the job nicely. I only play through the bands PA now, not carrying an amp around is great! Quote
Bigwan Posted January 17, 2019 Posted January 17, 2019 A Hartke Bass Attack if you can find one used. They're quite awesome. I have both the Hartke and the BDI21 and like them both, but if I had to choose it'd be the Hartke every time. Quote
